Post the New FFCRA Poster by April 1, 2020

The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA or Act) requires certain employers to provide their employees with paid sick leave and expanded family and medical leave for specified reasons related to COVID-19.

These provisions will apply from April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.

It is possible that the DOL may modify the existing poster, so employers may want to wait until March 31, 2020 to print the poster available at:

Lenders Are Urged To Work With Borrowers

The federal banking regulatory agencies issued guidance to lenders encouraging them to work with borrowers whose businesses have been affected by COVID-19 to modify loan terms where appropriate. These modifications can include payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms or other assistance to the borrower.

The interagency statement made clear that these short-term modifications, made to otherwise current borrowers, would not constitute a troubled debt restructuring (TDR), nor would regulatory examiners criticize financial institutions for offering prudent loan modifications, allowing greater flexibility to lenders to grant them.

This guidance should help lenders who want to help borrowers.
